Hi, I'm afraid that none of these cards will work. IIRC it was explained for nVidia approach that it would be necessary to add their closed-source code to qemu which is not going to happen. You might have better luck with AMD card "passthrough" approach but I'm not sure if GPUs can be passed through qemu/kvm and if so, how the GPU-rendered image then gets displayed. So YMMV and don't expect much. There is a WIP effort for qemu though that is hardware vendor agnostic - it's based on creation of virtual GPU in qemu called Virgil that passes 3D drawing commands to GPU on host. The project is in initial stage though so it won't be ready even for testing for quite some time. FWIW, there has been discussion about it on spice-devel in recent days and it will be presented on upcoming KVM forum so you can get pretty clear picture about its status from these sources.
